During setup the st->adc_control is 0, which corresponds to a continuous conversion mode. The reset value for channel 1 is to enable it. The combined effect of these two is that the ADC will start conversions for channel 1 without them being read. This is not neccessarily a problem, but it is an unexpected behavior. Set the ADC state to idle during setup to avoid this.
